07/31/23 Training Camp News & Notes

Nick Mullens is not at #Vikings practice today because of a family matter, so it’s just Kirk Cousins and Jaren Hall at quarterback for the first day of padded practices.

Danielle Hunter says he’s happy to be back on the field and likes what he’s seen so far from Brian Flores’ defense. Hunter: “I want to be a Viking forever.”

Joejuan Williams has been the Vikings’ No. 3 CB with Byron Murphy Jr. and Akayleb Evans up to this point in camp, but in today’s red zone period, it was rookie Mekhi Blackmon with the 1s and Williams with the 2s.

Trishton Jackson makes an incredible 1-handed catch over Joejuan Williams on a bomb from Kirk Cousins and Vikings fans go nuts.

Not hearing much about Booth Jr. 

Jefferson won’t play. Osborn will play a series or two. Jackson will play a ton. I liked him more than Smith-Marsette.
